Befriend the Opposite
Or put in more psychological terms: making the unconscious, conscious.
Or said in more spiritual terms: shining the light on our darkness or shadow side.
So, if we don’t know that we are acting or reacting to circumstances and people in our life out of some unconscious patterning from our past or childhood, how do we then become aware of it?
Here are things that give me a clue that I have gone into an unconscious pattern response:
1. I feel numb and my life energy shuts down
2. My mind seeks to blame when I hurt
3. My partner will tell me or point it out! (not easy, but a quick reminder!)
4. I don’t smile, dance, or listen to music as much
5. My voice sounds irritated
6. I get defensive
7. I get very independent
8. My partner will notice that I am not being my true Self!
What do YOU do when you are hurt or reactive?
Do you see any correlation to what you may have done in response to dysfunctional family patterns?
Bless those that mirror us even though it is so painful!
